Lea & Sandeman review
Crisp St Julien with ripe fruit and smooth tannins. This is very attractive and quite typical of the chateau, as well as being remarkably forward for the vintage. Drinking very well indeed. This delivers.

Mixed Cases
Some of the best value in Bordeaux comes from the "second" wines of the big estates. These are made up of the fruit of younger vines, or barrels that don't quite make the final cuvée, or occasionally seperate dedicated vineyards. They are given the same meticulous care that the "first" wines get, but are ready to drink sooner and, crucially, are that bit less expensive. Treat yourself to a selection of great claret - you know you're worth it!
